I get an infinite amount of spam texts and I don't have a Facebook account. (I did have one in college when it first came out, but I don't think I gave them my phone number, and if I did, that phone number is no longer in use. I switch phone numbers every time I switch cell providers.)
- ordx 6y agoFacebook still may have your phone number if a business uploaded your phone number for targeting.
- jrockway 6y agoI'm sure they have plenty of information on me. I doubt that it is the primary source of spam texts, that's all I'm saying. Many of my spam texts seem to know what state I'm in despite my area code being assigned to a different state, so I'm guessing they get them from voter records, political donations, that sort of thing.
